The school has a defibrillator on site – which delivers a charge to shock the heart back into life – which Miss Proctor and Mr Lowman used to bring Charlie back to life after he was struck down while exercising in a fitness suite.

Now, in recognition of their efforts, the two teachers have received a Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS) lifesaver award - which honours people saving lives in the community.

The charity aims to prevent the loss of life from SADS and highlights cardiac risk in the young through to middle age people.

Mr Lowman, 32, said: "It's lovely to get recognition and of course we are honroued. But we keep saying to each other we need other schools to recognise the important of having defibrillator in schools.

"On that day we were lucky to have one, but not all schools do. Without it Charlie wouldn't have survived.

"Going to the awards is our chance to raise awareness on what happened that day."
